Order quanity?

[Jlt012]

I have been snusing now for about 8 months and I can never decide how much i want to order at a time. What would all you out there recommend?

Welcome to Snuson!!

Most of my orders go through Buysnus, and they have shipping tiers. I get what I really want, then add extra snus to top out my weight limit. For my orders elsewhere, I'd say I average 2-3 rolls per order.

[lxskllr]

awesome! What exactly is a shipping tier?

They have weight ranges. Here's an example, but the numbers will be wrong...

1 roll of snus(660g) will fall into a certain tier. You'll actually be paying more than it costs to ship. Buysnus tells you how much you can add while staying in the same shipping tier(same price).

so we have our 1 roll at 660g, and Buysnus says we can add 430g(1090g total) and keep the same shipping cost. I'll add snus to get close to the 1090g total without going over. If you go over, the shipping will then raise to the next tier(lets say 2000g) and you can fill in that much until you go over again....

Edit:
My quoted post seems to have disappeared :^D

I reccomend buying as much as you can afford without incurring financial hardship in any other facet of your life.

If you don't have adequate storage, you have to buy that also. Silly... :^D

I think two rolls at a time because it's enough for more than a month and it's not so much that your wife (or roommate or mom) will harass you for how much snus you have in the refrigerator...

Once you get to about 8 to 10 rolls, even your snusing buddies will think you're odd...

so I keep mine in my bunker next to the the bottled water and canned peas.

I've got more than that :^D

And am getting close. 64 cans in the freezer right now with another 50 or 60 coming.

But about 120 cans is my limt before things get tight. Yes, I know exactly what can fit in my freezer.

As to your question, how often are you buying??

I am buying every two months now, I budget for that. I use 15 cans a month, so that means, at a minimum, I need to order 3 rols every 2 months solely to replace what I used. If I have let my stash get too ow, I will buy a few more cans than that to build it back up. but three rolls is my base order

And welcome to Snuson. :wink:

[tom502]

I've gotten to over 100 cans now. But my goal is to use these up, noting the ones I like best, and then keeping about 20 in stock.

[chadizzy1]

when i get down to 3-4 cans of any of my regulars, i put in an order for a roll of that particular product.

That s exactly what I did the last time I had this big of stash built up. 20 become my re-order point. Means I KNOW I have enough even if order takes three weeks to get to me, no stress about waiting. And more "manageable."

Only reason I am going crazy again is I am stockpiling Retro for obvious reasons. But I think 20 cans is a real reasonable number to re-order at. What I never understand is folks who wait until they have a few cans left, and then come here and moan and complain about how long their order is taking. Just dumb in my IMNSHO.

[Snusdog]

My rotation is pretty well set. I know what I like I also know what is out there. Thus I buy in 6 month segments and order about every 5 months. Like lxskllr, I too get my main supply and then throw in a few extras.

Also between big orders I tend to place a few smaller orders just to try something new or mix up my normal rotation a bit.

But I do not recommend this for those who have not been at it for a while. Snus will turn on you and there is nothing worse than getting stuck with a roll you don’t want (ok there are in fact many many things a lot worse than getting stuck with a roll of snus- but you get the point)

[sagedil]

Agreed. took me fully 2 years to settle into a set rotation.

And even then, some company comes and SCREWS it up. :wink:

[ahandsomeporkchop]

I use about 1/2 of a can a day and when I order 4 rolls at a time I almost always finish them before they reach the expiration date. Snus stays good after the expiration date if you keep them refrigerated anyway so no worries if it takes you a little longer.
